Knight’s Tourney 2026 Recap: Crowning the Knight Champion of the Realm
On March 26, 2026, the gates opened, the banners were raised, and warriors from across the realm gathered for the inaugural Knight’s Tourney 2026—a global celebration of custom LEGO minifigures, creativity, and the timeless spirit of LEGO Castle.
What began as an ambitious idea quickly became something far greater. With 63 custom minifigure submissions from builders around the world and nearly 1,000 participants voting across multiple platforms, the Knight’s Tourney proved that the community’s passion for custom LEGO compatible accessories and medieval storytelling is stronger than ever.
🏰 The Tourney Begins: A Clash of Champions
Competitors entered their finest creations—each one a unique blend of custom LEGO minifigs, detailed LEGO compatible armor, and imaginative storytelling—to compete across four intense rounds:
Round 1: The Grand Melee
Round 2: The Joust
Round 3: The Gauntlet
Round 4: The Crown’s Duel
Each round tested not only design and creativity, but also the support of the community, as fans cast their votes through social media, our on-site forum, and in-person at events.
After weeks of fierce competition, the battlefield narrowed… until only one remained.
